Description
The Fiber OWL 7 BIDI is a high-accuracy, high-resolution, microprocessor-controlled optical loss test sets (OLTS) capable of performing a wide variety of testing applications, from basic optical loss measurement up to simultaneous bi-directional, dualwavelength fiber link certification. With a wide measurement range and NIST-traceable wavelengths, the Fiber OWL 7 BIDI is ideal for both singlemode and multimode fiber link certification. Enclosed in an attractive hand-held case made from high impact plastic and protected by a protective rubber boot, test readings and graphical help screens can be viewed on the color LCD, and an intuitive 10-key keypad allows for easy data entry. Each Fiber OWL 7 BIDI is powered by re-chargeable lithium polymer batteries, typically allowing up to 50 hours of continuous use. A built-in auto-shutdown feature further conserves battery life. Batteries are re-charged through the USB port via supplied battery chargers. The intuitive built-in Link Wizard prompts the user to enter key information used to calculate standards-based link budgets for fiber optic certification testing, and helpful diagrams guide the user through the setup and testing procedure. Thousands of data points with descriptive link and fiber run labels can be stored in internal memory. Stored information can be selectively viewed, re-tested, or deleted from the device. The data can also be downloaded to OWLView certification software to produce professional-looking formatted certification reports. OWLView software includes a “tri-report" option that integrates power meter certification, OTDR traces, and endface analysis results all on the same report (separate fiber microscope and OWL OTDR required for tri-report)
